CHÂTEAU DE MONTFORT
Castle near Sarlat with keep and white tower facing south, built in the century. Only visitable from the village.
First built in the 9th century, Château de Montfort was destroyed three times during the Middle Ages. Its position as a lookout on the Dordogne River and its proximity to Sarlat-la-Canéda made it a hotly contested site. It belonged successively to the Viscounts of Turenne, the Duke of Roquelaure and, just before the Revolution of 1789, to the Duke of Noailles. It became the property of a Périgord doctor in the early 19th century, whose descendant had a keep built around 1905. The white tower to the south was added in 1926.
